While molluscum contagiosum is considered to be a frequently encountered disease, few data on its incidence are known.
The objective of this study was to describe the incidence of molluscum contagiosum in Dutch general practice and to assess the importance of venereal molluscum contagiosum.
Data were taken from the national survey of morbidity and interventions in general practice, drawn from 103 practices across the Netherlands, with a study population of 332300.
The infection appeared to be common in childhood (cumulative incidence 17% in those aged under 15 years); the adult, sexually transmitted, form was rare. Incidence was higher between January and June than between July and December. Cases were unequally divided between recording practices, which is though to have been caused by the occurrence of small epidemics.
The incidence of molluscum contagiosum in Dutch general practice was found to be 2.4 per 1000 person years. Molluscum contagiosum should still be considered as a mainly paediatric disease.
虽然传染性软疣被认为是一种常见疾病，但关于其发病率的数据却知之甚少。
本研究的目的是描述荷兰全科医疗中传染性软疣的发病率，并评估性传播传染性软疣的重要性。
数据取自荷兰全国全科医疗发病率和干预措施调查，该调查来自荷兰各地的103家医疗机构，研究人群为332300人。
该感染在儿童期似乎很常见（15岁以下人群的累积发病率为17%）；成人的性传播形式很少见。1月至6月的发病率高于7月至12月。病例在各记录机构之间分布不均，这被认为是由小范围流行所致。
荷兰全科医疗中传染性软疣的发病率为每1000人年2.4例。传染性软疣仍应被视为一种主要的儿科疾病。
